They have a small chamber orchestra in the house.

Message from cellist Sheku:

Going live again at 5:30 (GMT+1) Those of you who can count will notice there are 10 of us! We are really happy to have our good friend Plinio @plinionandes share lockdown with us. He shares a flat in London with Braimah and me and he’s like a brother to both of us. The three of us travelled up to Nottingham together a few weeks ago as Plinio was unable to fly back and join his family in Brazil – so we have adopted him for now!:) Plinio and I play lots of chamber music together so we look forward to sharing some of this with you as well as other combinations of us all in future live streams. I hope all of you are staying well

    What an amazing, wonderful family! You bring joy and blessing to so many people’s hearts! We were great friends with one of the Kanneh families when we were in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone in the 1970s. I am still in touch with one of the teenagers
    God bless you all

    May you continue to lift people’s hearts?

    How can we access your live music? Love your family, your music, and your wonderful accomplishments- your family is truly blessed! Glad you are all ‘staying inside and ‘staying alive’. ( Have you seen that video on YouTube – the Covid -19 version of the very famous BeeGees song?- it’s sooo good and worth seeing!)
